Hmmm..411A
Not to get into long arguement/discussion but I wonder if most of your F27 flying was on the US built Fairchild F27 and possible build to a better standard than the Dutch ones?
In Africa and in Europe, the Fokker F27 had pneumatic system that really did leak air and far from being easy to fill up, was a real pain especially as most airfields we landed in in Africa and Europe had no compressed air bottles and fitment. Who else or what else used compressed air? Also, in hydraulic leak, you can see where fluid comes form. Not the case with an air leak I regret to say.
The HS 748s which I flew in Africa never leaked hydraulics and if they had, quite contrary to the air refill problem, hydrailic fluid of one kind or another was always there.
As for the Fokker sim..used to be at Maastricht but think it has now changed. Perhaps that back issue of Flight International wich every year lists the worlds simulators might help witht he inquiry?
